Welcome to the Affinity forums.

I suspect you may need to attach an example of a RAW file which fails to open so that other users can take a look at it, though I'm not sure whether new users have the option to add attachments?  Perhpas upload to a file-sharing site and give the download link here?

Which camera produced the RAW files?  It is possible it is of a type that AP cannot yet open.

You say you drag and drop.  Have you tried simply using File>Open and navigating to your file?

Hi Jeff, thank you for the swift reply, the file I am trying to open is from the samples in the affinity work book so as I can follow the projects. I down loaded them from the site given in the book. the jpeg files open fine but the raw files, which are the for the first tutorial just won't open any way I try.

Just double-clicking on them should work fine. If that doesn't work use File > Open & navigate to wherever you have stored the unzipped files & choose one from there.

thank you for your reply, have now managed to get them open but I had to open them in windows first and then use open with. all a bit frustrating for a newby but suppose its a steep learning curve.

Were you dragging and dropping from the zip file or from a folder?  I'm getting inconsistent results if I drag thing in from the zip file!

Hi there, I was trying to open from the zip file but have found out that windows default app was set to open the files.

I have moved the open files to my external harddrive and set the default in windows 10 to open all photos  in affinity photo and it seems to have fixed the problem. I am going to take some random raw pictures and see if I can open them.

Thank you very much for all your help.
